Today?

But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come. For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, revilers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy, unloving, irreconcilable, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters of good, treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, holding to a form of godliness, although they have denied its power; Avoid such men as these. 2 Timothy 3:1-5
I have had requests to write about what is going on in America and around the world for that matter. Many live in a bubble of sorts unaware of things happening to tear apart our land and our precious liberties. Deception by the government and the media is rampant and we are convinced everything is okay. Worry is not the answer, but prayer is. 
The verses for today sort of hit the nail on the head when discussing 2015. Morality is one of the first things we see as going down the tubes. Take God out of the equation and it is easy to say that anything goes. If man does not have a moral compass of right versus wrong and good and evil, it is easy to become complacent and just sit quietly by as laws are passed that go against the Bible. 
Now is the time of salvation. Now is the time to do what you know is right. Be on your knees in prayer and ask God to heal the men and women who are leading this country in the wrong direction. Above all never give up on prayer.
PRAYER: You have a plan Lord But still I have a voice and know what is right and wrong. Direct me to show love as I speak out against society's ills as it relates to your word. In Jesus' name! Amen

Down In The Dumps?


This is the day the LORD has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it. Psalm 118:24
If we dwell all the time on the news, our problems, bills, sicknesses and other such things in depressing categories, it is easy to lose any joy you may have had. I have a suggestion for you. Wake up daily and the first thing just say, "thank you Lord for this wonderful day"!

The author of bad stuff is not the Lord. He indeed can use awful things to draw us closer to Him. Life does have a problem here and there. Death of a family member, bankruptcy, mental illness, suicidal thoughts, loss of income, cancelled medical insurance, bad grades, a car that won't start. These are only a few. But you can choose to dwell on those things or look up to Jesus who can help you overcome anything in your path. Tell Satan to get his stinking hands off you and run your race to win, straight to the cross. 

Today and every day start praising God for the good things and even write them down. Do not allow Satan to keep you from having joy. 

PRAYER: Lord thank you for every thing in life for in the bad I see how much I need you all the time. In Jesus' name. Amen.
